Chapter 923 A great contribution
Hilan Army assisted the envoys from the eight countries to enter the court. Even if they could not get a share of the pie, they would still have a greater sense of presence in front of the emperor and the court.
When the time comes, put together the information about the good news and the information about the replacement of armors and weapons by the Hailan Army. When the emperor is happy, he might just approve it!
With this in mind, he immediately ordered, "Jiayi, take a boat to meet the envoys from the eight countries."
Before Jiayi could respond, Jiaxi waved his hand to stop him, then stepped forward and said a few words in General Tang's ear.
General Tang stood up suddenly in shock!
Li Zhensheng immediately stopped what General Tang had blurted out, "General, the walls have ears. Otherwise we wouldn't have entered the camp in the dark!"
General Tang forced down the shock in his heart, nodded slightly, and after a while, he changed his order, "Jiayi, you and Liu Yang will take two ships and a thousand soldiers and go to sea immediately to greet the mission. If there is anything valuable, , you can take the boat to the small pier and go ashore first, I’ll have someone pick you up.”
"Yes, general." Jiayi and Liu Yang came out, responded in unison, and took the order.
Since sea-going ships are relatively large, the pier when entering the port is naturally also very large.
There were many ships and people coming and going, and it was a bit chaotic.
However, there is a small pier five or six miles away from the big pier, which can be regarded as the private port of the Tang family. It is usually guarded by veterans and wounded soldiers who have followed the Tang family for generations.
The important things of the fleet can be disembarked from here, and the news will never be leaked.
After confirming the details, Jiayi and Liu Yang set off with Jiaxi and their follower Cat Brother.
General Tang Lao also began to write a memorial. Li Zhensheng asked for paper and pen, and wrote a letter to the Marquis together.
Then together with the memorial from General Tang Lao, he was rushed to Kyoto for 800 miles.
The Li family didn't take it politely when they wanted to take advantage of their food. They just took advantage of the fast horse.
Not only was General Tang not angry, he was actually very happy.
For no other reason, he secretly stared at the Li family boy, hoping to catch him and take him home as his grandson-in-law!
In the Li family yard, Mrs. Li said that she didn’t wait for her children and grandchildren, but how could she not miss them.
As a result, by midnight, only Li Zhensheng came back, and the rest of the boys went to sea to meet the fleet.
Old Mrs. Li laughed and cursed a few words and didn't care.
It's a pity that Tao Hongying prepared so many bone soup noodles, but it won't be wasted.
Li Zhensheng ate a big bowl, and the rest was made for supper for the attendants and servants in the outer courtyard. They were all happy after eating...
On the night of the second day, when the sea and sky were at their darkest, the two boats cut through the sea at speed and arrived at the small pier next to the military port.
The veterans of the Tang family held torches and circled three times before Liu Yang and Jiayi jumped off the boat and quickly handed over. Then, the three large wooden boxes were moved to the Tang family's carriage.
Two of the wooden boxes are heavy and tightly nailed, but the other wooden box has gaps, and occasionally you can hear some humming sounds inside.
But the veterans of the Tang family were well-trained and didn't seem to hear anything. They quickly drove the carriage into the night, walking quietly and leaving no trace.
Jiayi and Liu Yang got on the boat again and slipped into the sea.
Liu Yang turned around and asked: "Such a huge achievement, just give it to the general?"
Jiayi smiled carelessly and responded, "It's not like you don't know that the general has a tight control over Quanzhou. It's impossible to hide it from him. Why not be generous and let him contribute?" , I will also share the credit when the time comes.
“And what I mean is that the general took great pains to get me out of prison in Kyoto, so I should return the favor this time.”
"Yes," Liu Yang nodded and whispered, "Jiaxi and Jiaan brought envoys from eight countries back this time, which is enough publicity. Especially Jiaxi actually married the queen... Just think about it, everyone must be shocked. Eyeballs, I just want to laugh!”
Jiayi couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect that this kid has been very naughty since he was a child, and he actually has this ability when he grows up!"
“I’m afraid the family is also surprised now. They are all waiting to see Jia Xi’s wife and children!”
“Yes, fortunately grandma is open-minded, otherwise Jiaxi would have had a big butt!”
“就是,不告诉家里就娶亲生子,这小子确实胆子太大了,该揍!” 两人一路说笑,很快就汇合了船队,上了大船,小憩片刻,只等早晨时候进港了。
How did they know that Li Zhensheng was so busy that he never had the chance to talk about it.
The family has no idea that there is an extra daughter-in-law for the queen!
Sunrise on the sea is one of the most magnificent wonders in the world.
The red sun, like a fireball, rises little by little from below the sea level. The moment it completely jumps out of the sea, the sea and sky are instantly covered with a golden coat. It is simply beautiful and makes people look at it.
At this time, there were already many people waiting in the morning breeze at the Hailan Military Port Pier.
General Tang took several generals from the camp with him, as well as Quanzhou Prefect who was just notified yesterday, and finally Mrs. Li and others.
The governor of Quanzhou specially saluted Mrs. Li with a very polite expression.
He has no side in the court and no backers. He is just an ordinary official. Otherwise, he would not have been assigned to Quanzhou as the prefect.
After all, in the eyes of the world, Quanzhou is a remote place where birds do not shit.
He also felt at ease, guarding Quanzhou and staying in a corner.
But the Li family is a popular person in front of the emperor, and they are very favored by the emperor.
He could have pretended not to know before and not take the initiative to visit Li's house.
Now that we meet face to face, the etiquette is no longer lacking.
Old Mrs. Li is very easy-going and doesn't put on any airs. She just exchanges a few words.
The governor was quite satisfied, but when he looked at General Tang, his mood became complicated.
Hai Lanjun's prestige in Quanzhou is too high. Even though he is only one of the parents, he can't even say a hundred words to General Tang.
Envoys from eight countries traveled across the ocean to pay tribute. He was actually the last to know about such a major event.
At this time, let alone share the credit, if the reception is not good, you will be punished. It is really suffocating!
But he couldn't complain about holding his breath.
Having a big fist is the last word!
Nowadays, it is obvious that both the Tang family and the Li family have bigger fists than him...
While everyone was having different thoughts, a dozen large ships turned their backs to the fiery morning sun and sailed from the sea to the sky.
The first two ships have the flags of Hailan Army, the next three ships have the flags of Tianwu, and the rest are a bit complicated, with various patterns, and they also represent the visiting envoys from the eight countries.
The Li family was so excited that they all tried to look around.
Tao Hongying supported Mrs. Li and asked anxiously, "Where is Brother An? Why can't I see it yet! This boat is moving too slowly!"
“Oh, don’t worry, don’t worry! I’ll see you soon!” Mrs. Li comforted her daughter-in-law, but she still secretly raised her feet.
She had a green jade hairpin in her bun, which reflected the morning light and reflected on her face, as if there was light hidden in the wrinkles.
Jia'an stood on the side of the ship, wearing black clothes and trousers, which made him as cold and straight as a birch tree in the north.
He was also trying to look around, and saw his mother and grandma almost at the first sight.
He had been holding back tears for nearly three years, but he couldn't hold back anymore and ran out wildly!
